What is Design+Build?

At Silva Custom Construction, Inc., our primary focus is building custom homes through our comprehensive Design+Build service. This streamlined approach brings your vision to life with a fully integrated team of designers, architects, and builders—all working together under one roof to deliver your dream home.

Instead of juggling multiple companies, you’ll work with a single team that handles everything from design and engineering to permits and project management. Whether you're starting from the ground up or planning a renovation, we tailor every detail to reflect your personal style, daily needs, and lifestyle goals.

We understand that budget is a key part of the process. That’s why our design team incorporates your chosen materials and finishes into early cost estimates—ensuring the construction proposal is accurate, transparent, and aligned with your financial goals from day one.

Design+Build Process

Silva Custom Construction Inc.'s Design+Build package combines both design and construction under one roof, offering a single point of contact. Our in-house design team creates a concept before collaborating with project management for accurate estimates based on materials, time, and design. Once the design is set, a Project Manager, Selections Manager, and Project Coordinator lead the construction phase.

The Design+Build process with Silva Custom Construction:

  1. Pre-design meeting
  2. Present initial design & revision(s)
  3. Materials selections & budget review
  4. Present proposal & project schedule
  5. Procure materials
  6. Design-focused construction
  7. Project completion

The Benefits of Design+Build

INCREASED PROJECT SPEED

The design+build process reduces construction time as all engineers, architects, vendors, etc. are on one team. Progress continues in other facets of the project while the engineers and architects fine tune their portion of the deliverables.

REDUCED COSTS

Design+Build has a total project budget established at the beginning of the project directly based on the clients’ design needs, aesthetics and expected materials. Establishing an accurate budget at the beginning of the project reduces last minute surprises and manages client expectations. In today’s economic climate, having an advocate with insight on the most up-to-date material costs is imperative to staying on budget.

MORE COLLABORATION = LESS RISK AND MISTAKES

Due to the nature of design+build, everyone is working for one common project goal. In a traditional construction model, on the other hand, there’s a strong tendency for separate trades and teams to work on just what’s in their own best interest – this can sometimes lead to disconnection, miscommunication and increased error. The collaborative process of the design+build approach utilizes and encourages teamwork, develops deeper levels of cooperation, enhances transparent communication between project members and improves the overall quality and project completion.

Our Design+Build Services ensure a collaborative effort from start to finish with open communication and purposeful steps towards delivery. When clients meet with Silva Custom Construction Inc., our team of designers and builders create a clear path for creative solutions, resulting in minimized costs, streamlined schedules and efficient strategies. We look forward to seeing your dream home become reality.
